Anybody interested in a how to day again? Getting the Hyosung back on the road which needs throttle refitted, brakes bleed and the likes.

Well, turns out to be the reg-rec... Costly thing to replace but at least now the Hornet aka Black Beauty is running sweet and smooth again.

Fingers crossed this'll be the last of anything major and unexpected...

Happened on my VTR as well. Was surprised by how much they cost too. At least on that bike the stock regulator seemed pretty poorly designed in terms of its cooling once you saw a newer more reliable design on the new one.

Even better, just fitted braided lines and HH+ pads. Hope to be able to stop this time.

Nervous about moving into the faster group? Only real thing to watch is holding your line as you will be overtaken at much higher speeds.

Dont go past me to fast, let the old fella feel good about his speed.

Nice! I've only ever ridden one bike with braided lines and it had serious stopping power.

Don't think you'll have to worry about that. Think I'm more nervous about this track day than I was last time being my first.

Question - Are bike mounted cameras disallowed at ART? I was gonna run my friend's GoPro on the side of my bike..

Yup its a big step up. Take heaps of water, gunna be hot there.

Make sure you hold your lines, I had guys coming past both dies last time under braking into turn one.

I'm keen if it's one of my days off.

Stripped the fairings and broken brackets off the cbr this arvo, got some new ones on order. To be honest, it got off lightly in the crash. Probably won't make the next couple rides since stuff is coming from overseas, but it'll only be a 10 min job to get it ready when the parts arrive.

Cool Man. Good to hear. Were you sore the next day?

A little bruised, the most annoying thing is that the cut little cut on my foot got infected but on antibiotics now so should be sussed in a few days.

Great to hear that you're mostly okay and even better that the bike is better off than expected

Rode Sergio to the "doctors" yesterday. He will be there for a week, getting his fluids changed, new brake pads, and new seals, gaskets etc. I have an empty space in my garage. Missing him all ready.
How am I going to cope?

I wont be at SASS this coming Tuesday because my Bro and family are in town staying with me.
So I have to decline nzspoke's nice offer of his pillion seat. As we joked last Tuesday, 2 girls on the bike would be OK but not so sure that he would share with my bro.

Action shot from today's ART day at Hampton Downs.

Mr. Italian Red VTR in front:



Had one little lapse of grip from the rear tyre in the last extra session they gave us but I managed a new top speed down the straigt so I was happy with that. All in all a great day, minus sweating like a whore in a church the entire time.

[nzspokes]

Epic day, after a bit of advice I jumped up in speed a bit. Bike still a bit lean at the top but not bad.

Loved it. Bike ready for work, kids feed and washed.

Fraser is on it now. He was going very well. Pleasure to see.

Photo taken by my 10 year old, not a bad effort.

Was a great day indeed.

Do you know who was taken the photos around the track? Keen to have a look at some.

I need to fix my colour scheme...

Official ones will turn up on the AMCC page.

Did you go home early? I came down later on and it looked like you had left?

Wow, really good. Might just save that one to the track riding photo folder!

Thanks Rob, was great to run in the same group as you this time round. Probably my last full day track day I'll do but I might do a twilight playday or something in a couple months' time.
